You will use xpcom-core.dll that is compiled with VC 6 for the same GRE version (VC 6 is the default compiler of current SeaMonkeys = where You get it - K-meleon uses the faster VC 7.1) to prevent that the USB version creates and empty dummy K-Meleon profile folder in %apdata% folder on startup.

guenter, could you please provide a link to download
the xpcom-core.dll to make a portable k-meleon 1.5.
Many thanks for your suggestions so far.

In cache, uncheck "cache files on disk" option, and set "cache files in memory" to 20 or 30 MB, optional: you can uncheck also "cache website icons on disk" option.

In history, set "Keep a list of all pages visited..." option to 0 (zero) days.

Set others privacy options as cookies and remember login data as you like it.

I think that it's not to easy to convert a standard K-Meleon 1.5 in portable. I followed all steps you have said but two folders are created in C: within the documents and setting folder\user(...) in two different locations. Jujuland version creates no folders in C:, always using the program from a USB unit.

Yes, it's easy! This folders are creted by default, but it not used, by K-Meleon.

Read the before Guenter's post in this thread:

If you don't like that K-Meleon create this empty dummy folders you can changed xpcom-core.dll file.

Both files make no empty folder (You can easily check with any K-Meleon when You use a profile.ini = like me ) and have no K-Meleon Profile in %apdata% ( else back up Profile folder = when You normaly use/have a profile there because You have installed with Multy User Support before You delete the folder for the test ).

The file from a normal Firefox 2.0.0.17 will also make no empty folder, I tried

I just put KM 1.5.1 on a USB stick. It takes approxamately 18 megs of space. I erased setdefault.exe and loader.exe because I did not think they would be needed on portable version. I also deleted extra skins.

What is it with the libraries (msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll)? I went to copy them as directed and found 13 sets of them on my computer.

Does not seem to be a way to use favorites from the stick. Guess I will make a Opera hotlist for those items I really need to carry with me. I suppose I could put the ten most useful URLs into hotlinks.

Only other problem is the speed of the USB system. KM loads real slow from the stick.

Did you format your USB stick with NTFS or FAT 32? I read several forums on the advantages/ disadvantages of each format. My old laptop doesn't have hi-speed USB 2.0 ports, has only the slower USB ports.

It is FAT. I think that is the way it was when I purchased it. I don't remember doing a format.
